The French only built nine Talbot-Lago Type 150 CS teardrop coupes and one of the running examples happens to be in California at the Mullin Automotive Museum. If there’s a must see, this burgundy wonder is it.

I've successfully managed to lose my class today. Before I have 9352 burners calling me an idiot, we do not have a set classroom, and thus we rely on the professor telling us where to meet. She didn't this time. Since I haven't missed this class this entire semester, I've taken the liberty of "skipping" class and…

With ancestry stretching back to Chrysler Europe via Simca, the crypto-Peugeot 104-based Samba- the final vehicle to wear Talbot badges- may well be one of the most terrible European vehicles made during the 1980s.

This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. We've seen a couple of Peugeots and a Renault in DOTSBE this week, so today we need to give equal time to a marque you rarely see on the North American street. Franzouse…

Happy Bastille Day! In honor of the 219th anniversary of the symbolic beginning of modern France, our very own Frenchman Franzouse, has collected these photos from the "Course de Cote" vintage hill climb in St Geniez D'olt. Each car is a unique part of French rallying history, and the gallery includes a Renault R5…

Yes kids, it's the car that turned Simca, for a brief, shining moment into the second-brightest sales star in the nighttime skies over Bordeaux: the Simca Aronde. It debuted in 1951, and eventually made a whopping 70hp via its Rush Super engine, which is possibly the third greatest engine name in history, behind…

The Dan over at The Forbes has come up with a list of ten cult cars you shouldn't be without. We're still pissed he specifically rejected the 2CV and the Fiat Jolly, because well, Cadillac Eldos attract the wrong women, and it takes too long to explain a Talbot T-150. The list? Post-jump. Click.

The Talbot Wind could probably be fronted upon. After all, it's a subcompact with a pickup bed and a dorky name. It didn't sell all that well, and Talbots weren't exactly noted for their quality. But, but! It is an obscure factory-Camino shitbox, and due to Uncle Bumbeck's influence, we're falling in love with goofy…

Last week we wondered if Laverty was losing it his piece on the Ford Ka made us wonder if the ol' boy's mojo had gone off for a coffee break and never returned. Thankfully, he comes back today with a classic "Rubbish Cars We Love" piece on the Talbot Samba, which is about as far removed from a Talbot-Lago as one can…
